TO ALL SPRINT COACHES - Our planned 2026-27 indoor meets at 5,430ft on our 300m mondo track are Jan 8-9, Jan 15-16, Feb 5-6 😉
Conversions are dead. ☠️ The NCAA Track and Field Committee has voted to eliminate altitude conversions (indoor and outdoor) and track size/indexing conversions (indoor) starting with the 2026-27 academic year. Their reasoning came down to the fact that altitude affects every athlete differently, yet a uniform conversion gets applied; no conversions exist for heat or humidity and no other level of the sport uses them. They applied the same logic on track size since every track is different, there’s “no true science” behind the indexes, and access to 200m banked tracks is better than ever. This will impact how distance athletes previously qualified when racing on the tracks at places like New Mexico, NAU, BYU, Colorado, etc. during the indoor season.

An update from Fleet Feet on Jenny Simpson: Tuesday night, Fleet Feet's Chief Running Officer, Jenny Simpson, experienced a medical emergency while participating in the Sir Walter Running Pop Up Mile event in Raleigh, N.C. She received immediate medical attention and was transported to a nearby hospital. Fleet Feet CEO Joey Pointer was also at the event, and stayed with Jenny at the hospital throughout the night as her family traveled to be with her early Wednesday morning. While Jenny remains under medical care, she has shown encouraging improvement and continues to exhibit the strength and resilience that have long defined her. True to form, she has already asked about her mile time and whether she won. The outpouring of support from across the running community has been extraordinary. We appreciate the compassion, encouragement and concern shown for Jenny and her family, and we are grateful to be part of a community that continues to rally around them.

From Track Star to Tech Innovator 🔥🧠 🛠️ Our very own James Overberg turned engineering skills into a game-changing recovery tool for Buffs! The Mechanical Engineering major designed and built a custom sauna—now a permanent part of the Endurance Lab inside the Ford Indoor Practice Facility—helping our athletes maximize performance, recovery, and that extra 1% every session. Proof that Buffs lead in competition, in the classroom, and beyond! 😉✨

My favorite interaction of the @DeionSanders era was meeting @RandyMoss today. You know I had to bring up his one college track meet at Marshall where he dominated (21.15 - 200m) the conference meet. #TrackSpeed “I didn’t know what to do so I just ran as fast as I could”
